Gunsmoke Darkest Timeline

 

It was a typical day in Dodge City when Miss Kitty locked up her saloon and made her way towards Doc's office. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the dusty main street. She had promised Doc that she would be by tonight with payment for his services. Little did she know that Matt Dillon was watching her every move from the shadows.

As Miss Kitty reached Doc's door, she knocked lightly and waited for him to answer. When he opened the door, she stepped inside and closed it behind her. Matt couldn't help but listen in on their conversation through the thin walls of the building.

"Now, Kitty," Doc said in his deep baritone voice, "we agreed that you would pay me for my services tonight." Miss Kitty nervously nodded her head, knowing full well what those services entailed. "And just how do you plan on doing that?" Doc continued with a lecherous grin on his face.

Before Miss Kitty could respond, Matt burst into the room with his pistol drawn. His eyes widened in shock at the sight before him - Miss Kitty standing there in her lace lingerie trembling in fear while Doc leered at her from behind his desk.

"Matt!" Miss Kitty gasped as she tried to cover herself up with her hands.

"What have we here?" Matt asked coldly as he approached them slowly. He pointed his pistol directly at Doc's head. "You were planning on buying yourself some fun tonight weren't you?" he asked accusingly.

Without warning, Matt swung his pistol around and struck Miss Kitty across the face with the butt of his gun. She cried out in pain as blood dripped from her nose onto her lingerie. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stared up at Matt in horror.

"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Matt spat out angrily as he pointed his gun at Miss Kitty now too. "Selling yourself like some common whore!" He grabbed her roughly by the arm and dragged her out of Doc's office into the street where everyone could see them.

"Everyone! Look at what we have here!" Matt shouted at the top of his lungs so that everyone in town could hear him. "Miss Kitty Redd - our beloved madam selling herself for money!"

The crowd gathered around them slowly, some whispering amongst themselves while others looked on in shock and disbelief. Miss Kitty tried to pull away from Matt's grasp but he held onto her tightly. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Matt released his grip on her arm and pushed her roughly towards the center of the crowd.

"Get out of here!" he shouted at her as she stumbled away from him. "And don't you ever come back!"

The scene ends with Miss Kitty running back to her saloon, tears streaming down her face as she locks the door behind her. She collapses onto a chair, sobbing uncontrollably as she tries to make sense of what just happened.
